Around the World Row!

Larry is probably to busy rowing to read this but.........WOW! Impressive stuff! I truly feel like a slacker. Good going Larry.

Just to add to the confusion there is:

• The Eh!Team (the one we try to associate with this forum and our coastal row around the world and the JVC you should be on.)
  Team Canada
  Team Canada Eh!

Keep on rowin', eh.

Jim

Hu?, Uh?, He?, Eh?

Am I rowing for the wrong team now?

Confused?
Yep!

Hi fellow Eh! Team members,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I've added a section to my online shop Brain Angles Creations http://www.cafepress.com/brainangles/4593661 for tees and other items with The Eh! Team logo.

Great rowing everyone. Keep it up. It doesn't matter how far or how fast you row, every little bit helps.

I think I am going to buy one of those fancy Eh!Team coffee mugs just so I can get enough java on board to keep up with everyone.





They are available from Michelle's link above.

Keep on rowin', eh.

Eh!Team website

It seems to be working. You can check your individual stats or stats for the Eh!team by clicking on the menu item "stats"
Choose your start and end date and it will total your rows for that period.

I know some of the links are missing. Let me know what other features you would like and what links you think we should have.

In the meantime I am going for a row, so....

Keep on rowin', eh.

PS. The google earth file is under eh!team -> google earth file

[ckaiserca]

The page looks pretty good in Internet Explorer, but is mostly borked in Firefox.

Also, the rower pictured in the upper right corner is very attractive, but shouldn't she be keeping her back straighter?

What happens in firefox? Does the data filter and display properly?

We are almost around Greenland!

In Firefox, none of the drop-down menus display correctly so you can't navigate the pages.

I'm very impressed by the distances being rowed during the JVC. Last I looked Larry Skelly was in 7th position overall at 817,758. That's about 300,000 m more in 23 days than I've rowed all season

For those that like shorter distances the CTC's 250m sprint is still open.

2 new postings by these bigger (than me) guys
Robert Lefevre 39.9 (H)
David Chmilowskyj 40.1 (H)
inspired me to row .8 seconds faster to 45.2.
I'd still like to get under 45 seconds before months end.

This is also the first time I've gone faster (so far) than Cynthia Drewry (F) 48.1, one of the quickest ladies.

Keep pulling Eh! Team.

Cheers,

How many of you hosers crank up the drag factor for a short 250 meter sprint?

I have a tendency to leave it alone at my "usual", but there is no way that I can get a single pull as fast as some of the splits I see for the 250.
Or am I just a 200 pound weakling???

Keep on rowin', eh.

I've bumped it up from 125 to 143 for my latest attempt. I might try 145 for a last go

in case this happens.

Cynthia, I figured you'd be saving yourself for CIRC. Hope your race goes well.

I tried the first two at DF176 and managed 40.4 @ r43 and 40.3 @ r47.
Tried it again slightly lower at DF162 but knew by 150 in that it wasn't going to work so eased off.
The last effort was at DF 175 @ r51 for 40.1. The DF has to go higher and the rate has to go way higher to go faster.
May give it one more go soon at a higher DF.
Hope to see some of you in Toronto on the 3rd.

Thanks for the advice on the Drag Factor. I am going to try a 250 for the JVC with the DF pumped up.

The Eh!Team is over 55,000,000 meters and we are now between Greenland and Iceland. On an incidental note, this is more than the Around the World Row total we did last year and we are not even a quarter of the way through yet.



So enjoy this feral portion of our row and definitley,

Keep on rowin', eh.

Congrats on the JVC hosers. We had a top 10 finish and our average was over 200,000 meters for each hosers rowing in the JVC. Well done. Special kudos to Larry Skelly. He was number 6 individually and rowed well over 1 million meters.

We are over 57 million meters in our coastal row and we have made it around the tip of Greenland.

I am travelling right now and I have not pulled on the chain in a few days. I will try and find an erg today and put in some meters.

Good luck to those of you rowing in the CIRC, Monster Erg, etc tomorrow. Let us know how you do.

Keep on rowin', eh.
